What do you usually serve for Easter? Around here it’s ham. It has always been ham. But not just any ol’ ham. I’m talking Fred Meyer Flame Crafted Ham. It’s slow roasted, topped with a honey glaze and spiral sliced. It is succulent, slightly sweet and down right ham perfection.

The Fred Meyer Flame Crafted Ham brings back so many family memories for me. When we would celebrate any holiday at my Dad’s house, my Dad would always make sure that we had the flame crafted ham. It was a tradition. And now that I am older and hosting my own holiday meals, I always make sure that we have the flame crafted ham too.

With Easter just around the corner, I thought I would share this Brussels Sprouts Gratin recipe as the perfect side dish to pair with your Easter ham.

For the last few years, I have been on a quest to get people to love Brussels sprouts. I have always felt that they have gotten a bad wrap. Over the years, I have shared several recipes but this Brussels Sprouts Gratin is by far the most decadent. This Brussels Sprouts Gratin is made with heavy cream, shallots, garlic and gruyere. It will turn any Brussels sprouts hater into a Brussels sprouts lover.

I really like serving this Brussels Sprouts Gratin with the Fred Meyer Flame Crafted Ham because it is the perfect balance of decadent and savory. The Brussels sprouts are creamy and cheesy and the ham is succulent, savory and slightly sweet. They balance each other out perfectly.

Serve this gratin along side some mashed potatoes and ham gravy (made with the pan drippings from the flame crafted ham, of course) and you’ll be on your way to one heck of an Easter meal.
